Hey guys, need to drop a bomb on you here.

I won't beat around the bush with this so I'll just lay it on you right away. Some time soon HigherNation will be shutting down (the group and all the servers). This may come as out of nowhere to some of you but this is something the owner has been thinking about for quite some time now. He first made HigherNation when Team Fortress 2 was in its prime and everyone was active, however over the years his interest (as well as most of the HigherNation staff's) in the game has diminished. There is currently no desire to expand or improve on the servers, so the logical choice would be to close it down.

It's been a good run, there have been a lot of fun times and we greatly appreciate all of you for playing on our servers and being part of our community.

Out of respect, please do not try to contact the owner or any of the managers about this. This isn't something to be negotiated and the servers have already been cancelled prior to this announcement. I'm not sure as to how long the servers will be up exactly, but I wouldn't expect them to be on past July.

Have a good one guys and thanks for sticking with us.
